Title: Re: would you want you kids to start playing poker Post by: Claw75 on January 17, 2011, 10:23:09 PM would be very hypocritical of me to disapprove. not that i'd have a problem with it anyway. once my daughter's over 18 her choices are her own.

Or would you not do this? In America I believe it's very common for families to play poker on the kitchen table, but less so over here.
Thoughts? Title: Re: would you want you kids to start playing poker Post by: StuartHopkin on January 18, 2011, 12:19:44 PM Would happily teach them when they can understand the concepts.
Would mix in stories and meetings with Cos so they never want to play it more than once or twice a year.

(He's 5) A few months ago I tried to explain what bluffing was. The next day he said his mum "Bluffing is giving away your chips for no reason". He's a quick learner.

Title: Re: would you want you kids to start playing poker Post by: eartoplay on January 18, 2011, 04:57:13 PM hi the reason i asked this is my daughter has started playing at the local casino when i go and is OK for beginner but i don't want her to end up like some of the people in there (you know the ones i mean)

Hardly random Fran unless we have a different understanding of the word. I'm highlighting one specific casino which has had a reputation for hosting the most corrupt and untrustworthy card-room in the UK over the last decade as the one which I would least like my kids to start to play poker in. Now what's wrong or random about that?

Title: Re: would you want you kids to start playing poker Post by: Onetimebabydoll on January 18, 2011, 11:29:07 PM I would start them off on other games like Chess and when they're older perhaps Magic the Gathering.
By the age they can give me a good game at chess, i'll start with the poker for chores concept. See how that fares. |
